Why are Democrats, the opposition party, giving up their right to oppose? WHAT THE BLOODY FUCKING HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

Yes, I know that this bill doesn't have a rat's ass of a chance to make it past today's SCOTUS, but that wasn't what this was about in the first place. It was a blatant attempt at grabbing November 7 by the balls and squeezing really, really hard. It was Bush's attempt at retroactively pardoning all of his war crimes. And if the Democrats don't respond in kind in the next 30 days, touting themselves as the Anti-Torture, Pro-Soldier Party, we all might as well grab our ankles and wince with pain.
